I've Been Roasting Garlic Again...
Covered in Extra Virgin Olive Oil tomorrow we run it through the food processor with a great green gob of homegrown Greek Oregano portion it out and freeze 2/3 of it to keep it fresh while we use the first 1/3.

Nearly Sorta Kinda Hummus
(aka roasted garlic and chickpea spread)
Soak 1 cup of dry chickpeas in water with 1 tsp baking soda mixed in overnight (or all day while you are away at work/school/etc)
Drain and cover with fresh water in oven safe pot with a lid.
Put the pot on a drip pan of some sort to prevent boil overs from dripping on your oven floor. Put the whole set into a cold oven.
In another pan put a whole head of garlic rubbed all over with olive oil. Use 2 if you really love roasted garlic.
This setup can sit there until you are ready to cook. This is great if you have a programmable oven, or a housemate able to turn on the oven at the right time for you.
When the oven gets up to 350°F, set cooktime 45 minutes. When garlic is fragrant, take it out before it burns (about 45 min) Let it cool while the chickpeas finish, and peel by clipping the tips off and then squeezing into a bowl.
Check to see if chickpeas are soft. Probably not. They are likely to need another 15 min to half hour.
When chickpeas are very soft, use a slotted spoon to take them out and put in bowl with the roasted garlic. Add a hefty drizzle of good tasting olive oil and a little salt. Mash until smooth and blended. Yes, a blender works great for this, but a spoon should also work.
Adjust salt to taste. Add a little of the bean water from the cook pot if needed.
Serve with a little more oil on top. Optional shake of Zatar or paprika or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Why is this not hummus? No tahini, no lemon.
So texture is less like a creamy sauce/dip, and more like a thick spread like peanut butter.
Very delicious, slightly different. Also easy, cheap and healthy.

Caramelised Red Onion & Roasted Garlic Pizza
Caramelised Red Onion & Roasted Garlic Pizza©KevinAshton2023
On Tuesday I show my BBQ MasterClass students that it’s easy to make homemade pizza from scratch on a barbecue. I made the pizza dough the night before and place it in my fridge once the dough had doubled in size. Then I made the caramelised red onions, roasted garlic, grilled red peppers on the BBQ. Since my BBQ has a side burner I…

Trenette alla carrettiera with roasted garlic inspired by Made in Sicily.

Trenette alla carrettiera with roasted garlic
This pasta dish is kind of a North-meets-South Italy mashup, as the trenette pasta shape originated in Genoa and Liguria, while the pasta sauce is one that is distinctly Sicilian. I went with the trenette for this particular dish because it’s been one of my favorite types to make recently; I received a trenette cutter as an early birthday present,…
